Joanna Sutton owned one of the last remaining genuine saloons left in East Texas. The Whiskey Road Saloon was a legend that stood alone against the fancy nightclubs that ruled the surrounding counties with their overpriced, watered down liquor and flashy star studded themes. She held her own, though, and the backwoods icon withstood the test of time. Now if she could have only said the same about her love life, specifically her crumbling marriage. While she put her heart and soul into seeing to it that her late father-in-law’s dream remained true to his vision, her husband’s ambition and climb to the top of the food chain as Assistant District Attorney, left her alone more often than not. Just at the point of giving up on love, calling it quits and cutting her losses, a handsome man wandered into the bar one fateful evening, offering her a chance at a new beginning and a fresh shot at love. Could she see past all the pain and disappointment and give love a fighting chance, or has her time for happiness blown away like the dust in the wind? One man, one woman, one night and only one shot to finally get it right!
